...Kan Ohtake will try to limit himself to gaining 2-kg during the New Years' holiday (the New Years' holiday is kind of like Thanksgiving and Christmas with regards to people gaining weight in Japan).

...The Buffaloes are thinking about wearing two throwback uniforms at some point next season: a Hankyu Braves uniform during a game in Kobe and a Kintetsu Buffaloes uniform during a game in Osaka. Seems they're thinking about wearing the throwbacks during Inter-league play.

It would apparently be the first time a club wears two different types of throwback uniforms in one season.

...Shinnosuke Abe is thinking about giving a reward / award to a starter that wins 15 or more games next season. Seems he's trying to motivate the younger Japanese starters into focusing on winning more next year.

...The Giants' bunt success rate was .696 last season, worst in the league. Tetsuya Matsumoto lead the club with a .750 success rate. In comparison, the Yakult Swallows' Hiroyasu Tanaka lead the league with a .950 clip.
